Odemba faces tough decisions in selecting top forwards and defenders for the upcoming 2024 WAFCON qualifiers.
"There are many center backs in our elite division who are doing commendably well for their teams, but Senaji stands out like a beacon. He doesn't recklessly lose possession.

FOOTBALL: Engin Firat's game plan for plucky South Sudan
Harambee Stars face South Sudan on Tuesday, 4pm at Kasarani, focusing on adaptability ahead of 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers.
Yet, Kayira believes Senaji's foreign roots may be a reason for the perceived lack of accolades and attention.
"It's an age-old bias where players in foreign countries often find it harder to earn local recognition. But this boy's talents shouldn't be overshadowed by his nationality. If he were a Malawian, I'm confident he'd be held in the same esteem as legends like Peter Mjojo Mponda. He might even have been bestowed with the captain's armband," Kayira opined.

While some might dismiss Kayira's observations as mere bias or favoritism, the numbers and on-field displays do not lie.
